Businessmen hope government does something immediately to concrete action, in order that rupiah value is not depressed continuously. However, this case happens opposite, the government still hesitates to take wisely. It is impossible for industry which use import raw material will be bankrupt one by one. In trade, value of rupiah isn’t stabile to make market difficult to trust Indonesia again. Degradation of rupiah that progressive sharp, fast or slow will make industry fall, such as sale of yarn. In the month, PT. Panasia Indosyntec sell count 4000 ton. The price of sale 1,65 USD per kg. Suddenly, value of exchange loses from 10.400 rupees to 10.900 rupiah per USD. The difference of value represent loses till 3,3 billion per month. Losing finance isn’t including calculate from the sale of textile. Because, raw material produce yarn and textile must be bought by USD. On other hand, the sale result of transaction in the form of dollar must be exchanged become rupees for payment of worker. Value rupee continues to float; particularly it makes businessmen have high risk. Frankly the government must take a certain action.
Businessmen expire twice hit, that is increase price raw material is caused by increase price oil. Oil fuel is principal raw material of plastics industrial product, and the other hand is value exchange loss. This condition make raw material industry must responsible to increase cost equal to 15 %.  One of way to strengthen rupees exchange value is to make rupees money trusted. In Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia, currency is used some transaction like loading and unloading fare. In Indonesia most export - import transaction use dollar. The government see to hesitance apply rupees exchange value. As transaction in PT. Pelindo, whereas that is service firm to the government own. Therefore, government need to change payment curs of container handling charge (CHC = container fee handling) collected by PT.Pelindo of dollar to rupees. Payment of CHC can be changed by government because its decision is determined by communication minister. So that, minister communication has power to change for the sake of easily to export import businessmen.
